As far as inhabited places go, that’s the South American port city known as the “city of the eternal spring.” Located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and just below the border of Peru, Arica is arid. For all the water around the city of 200,000, they don’t get much from the skies. Every year, an average of .03 inches of rain falls. Go ahead, wash your car here. Do a rain dance. Whatever you try, it probably won’t provoke the clouds and jeopardise the city’s claim.
